It’s been 43 days since our wedding at the Fox Hollow, and we are still receiving calls and texts about how wonderful our wedding reception was. My wife and I have been to plenty of weddings, but we have never encountered a staff that was so co...urteous, detailed-oriented, and all-around amazing. Beyond their professionalism, the Fox Hollow Staff treats you like family.
Now I would be remiss to not name the exact staff that I worked with throughout the year.
In late 2016, my then-fiancée and I were searching for a venue for our wedding reception. We looked at over 20 possible venues throughout Long Island, the tri-state area, and upstate New York. To say our patience was growing thin was an understatement, but we were still determined to find the perfect venue to host our special day.
In June, we finally found Fox Hollow, and had a great first impression as soon as we walked in. We met with Michael Tinelli, the Director of Operations, and from this first meeting to the day of our wedding, Michael has been simply remarkable. During our initial meeting, Michael gave us a walk thru of the venue, answered all our questions, and broke down the preparation process in great detail. The meeting was very relaxed and pressure-free, something we could not say about most of the appointments we had with other venues. Additionally, we instantly fell in love with the Garden Terrace. By the time we reached our home, we had already come to the decision that Fox Hollow would be the perfect place to host our special day. From Michael’s honesty and openness in the initial meeting, to his regular follow-ups to ensure everything was going smoothly, he helped to make the whole process much easier for us.
Jessica Levy was our Event Coordinator. Throughout the year, she was amazing at keeping us on track to reach all of our goals for the wedding. She was very responsive to our questions, extremely knowledgeable, and very accommodating. During our in person meetings, Jessica was very polite.
Finally, after a year of preparation, our day finally arrived. Like any wedding, we ran into our share of hiccups during the day, from last minute cancellations and additions, to running behind our schedule. The Fox Hollow team did an amazing job dealing with all of our issues. Samir was our phenomenal maître d’, and was extremely attentive for the entire evening. He coordinated with our DJ and MC perfectly to ensure that the evening ran smoothly, and for any requests that we had, Samir made it happen. Victoria was our incredible bridal attendant. She was very polite, and made sure the bride was always taken care of. My wife loved her.
Our guests constantly relayed their compliments of how great the Fox Hollow staff was. For example, my parents told us how great their waiter, Leroy, was. He was very polite and courteous, and even went as far as to translate for certain guests that were not English speaking.
Toward the end of the night, my wife and I saw Michael walking around checking on our guests. We were surprised to see him, as we knew that Michael was not scheduled to be in that day. However, Michael took it upon himself to show up and ensure that everything went well. This meant a lot to us, and we truly feel that Michael and the Fox Hollow team treated us like family.
There is no doubt in my mind that we will be recommending The Fox Hollow to all of our friends and family. Thank you so much for making our wedding such an incredible, memorable experience.
